How They Met: Staren and Josh first connected through an online app, then met up and hit it off.  

Proposal:  The couple headed to Clearwater, FL during a trip and planned to meet up with one of Josh’s friend.  The friend was running a little late, so they took a walk down on the beach to see the water.  As they started walking, Staren noticed a blanket set up behind where people were sitting and Josh suggested they go check it out.  As they got closer, Staren saw the blanket said “Bride” on it and there were champagne, flowers and their favorite song playing.  When she turned around towards Josh, she found him down on this knee ready to propose.  She was very surprised.

What do they Enjoy Together:  They are both big sports enthusiasts.  They love going to any kind of sporting event and watching at home with family/friends.  

We meet these two after a snow storm at the Crossings of Colonie for their engagement shoot.  Even though it was a cold day, these two were troopers.  We are looking forward to capturing their Wedding Day in October 2025 at the Barn at Hansen Hill Farm.
